 A College Nightmare : Still There 
Inspiration

My initial inspiration was from a favorite picture of mine by M.C. Escher.  I tried to combine this with a bit of mystery and horror inspired from my love of movies. The title was inspired by my frustration with this project attempting to complete it on my 256 mb ram computer.
